The beauty of Christmas lights, if done well, is that they can transport you into a magical environment, creating a world where all is twinkly and the mood is one of escapism, comfort, family and friends. I’m a traditionalist - my mother is German and when we do Christmas the whole house is covered in lights from top to bottom.
The ambiance is so warming. Of course, it’s as easy to get lights wrong as right - too much and they lose their magic, the wrong colors and the whole vibe is off. Having done many Christmas shoots - and styled my own home countless times - this is how I always approach Christmas lighting ideas.
